Spread ofuog Cholera.
Westere Aericuilrist.

1t has been a mystery to many now the
disease known rs hog cholera could spread
so rapidly from one neighborhood TO an
other Farmers who pay careful atteu
tiou 70 tho sanitary condition of their
swine are not exempt from this disease
and il has been impossible TO satisfacter-

called hog cholera in herds of swine APP

gentlemen writing the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture advances theroy
that the disease is spread over the ooun-
try by the crows and other carron eatirg
birds Ii is we'll known that swine will
eat the flesh OF hogs that have died with
disease, and the statement of Mr.. Ed
wards the writer of the following letter
is worthy of some consideration. He
writes as follows:
"a farmer OF my acquaintance, IN this
locality, informed me, yesterday, that
while picking corn at home, few days
ago. be found three fragments of swine
aesh in his corn field on the ground. One
fragment was about the size OF q mans
thumb; the other two pieces we're smaller.
The appearance OF the three fragments
indicated that they had been torn, not
cut, from the carcass OF hog.
Now, as hog cholera prevails to an
alarming extent in this neighborhood,
and crows abound in this locality, and the
said farmer noticed crows, in their flight,
crossing ana recrossing over his held.
during the day he found the fragments OF
hesh he is quite confident that these
pieces OF fresh swine flesh were dropped
by the crows.

is very important that all hogs dying
from disease should be burasd or buried

American Agrculturist, for March
While the wife cleans the house, let the
husband clean the farm. If vegetable
matter is left about the yard, its rafid
decay during the damp, warm weather of
spring and summer, will poison the air,
and affect the health of the family. If
left about the barns lots and fields, il will
have like influence on the farm animals.
Hogs are doubly liable to be injured, for
they not only breathe the fouled air, but
nest in such litter. Farm cleaning will
save loss from disease. The litter has
great value As fertilizer, when properly
applied. The intelligent use of this ma
nure insures better crops, and the farm
is capable of more thorough cultivation.
And then, how much appearances are
Improved. Make a bonfire of pieces Of
wood, brush, stumps, etc, not fit for fuel,
and give the charcoal TO the swine and
the ashes to the fruit trees. Remember
this work Is not complete until those
stumps and stones are removed which
can be taken out with q reasonable
amount of labor; until the trees about
the house and in the orchard are pruned;
until the old growth is taken from rasp-
berries, gooseberries, currants, etc; until
the ''under- brush is cleared out of the
wood-lot; until all the bitches are opened
and pools are drained; in short, until the
farm is clean and neat. Conveniently
enough nearly all, or all of this work, can
be done before the spring blowing is
begun.

A CURIOUS GAS WE'LL

A correspondent of The Chicago Herald
writing from Washington, Pa, says:
There are many curious phenomena ever
present at the natural gas wells in this
vicinity said the owner of several wells.
but have never seen any that struck me
as being so peculiar as those that were
witnessed few years ago in the Canada
Oil Field at Sarnia. The well was being
drilled for oil, and ct the depth of 600
feet great volume of gas wrs found.
The gas was accidentally set on fire as il
rushed from the well. fountain of
fame more than fifty feet high was the
result. That, in itself was a wonderful
phenomenon for that district then. but it
is as common as water hydrants in this
region.
The popularity OF the well was that
every fifteen minutes as regularly as the
clock could mark the time, a stream of
water three inches in diame.-r SprOuted
from the depths and mingled with the
burning gas. The force of the water
carried the flames up more than hun
bred feet, and separated them in sprays
and showers of fire. The chemical com
position of the water was sucn that there
were certain inaammahle qualities in it,
and these would make brightly coiored

gas itself, creating a natural pyrotechni.

rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and nerv-
GUS or sick headache. Having tried num-
berless so-called remedies, and physicians
of all schools, without relief, there seems
to be no hope. Many such have as a last
resort tried Athlophoros, and to their sur
prise and Joy have found that it was safe,
sure and quick cure. Athlophoros is not
an experiment; thousands have been cured
by its use and they testify as to its value.

to death of John Vanderburg, in the court
room, yesterday, during his preliminary
examination on a charge of outraging Jen-
ME Anderson, Is now believed to have been
a horrible mistake; and notwithstanding
the victim of some mans lust identified
Vandenburg as that man, yet her identified
ton had that uncertainty that usually fixes
crime on the first pers On arrested. Wander
burg was cooking for a camping party four
miles from the scene of the outrage at 3
o'clock that afternoon aand at o'clock he
was again in camp. The Coroner's jury
censured the judge for not disarming and
watching the Anderson boys and Ed. Evans,
from whom something desperate was ex-
pected, and they brought in verdict of
murder against Lint Anderson and Ed
Evans. Friends of the murdered man have
been found and declare that they will
prosecute to the end.

What Greeted a Father at Home.

LEBANON, May 27.-When w. w. Isen-
hour went home to dinner to-day he found
his daughter, aged fourteen, protrasted
with fear and nervousness, and very badly
burned about the face, head and shoulders.
The girl has been keeping house for few
days, in the absence OF her mother, and was
at home alone this forenoon, when she
claims that a strange man came into the
kitchen about IL O'Clock aud flashed some
thing in her face, which blinded and
burned her severely and rendered her ua-
conscious. When she recovered conscious
ness she was sitting in chair, and her
brother soon arrived. 1t is not known
whether or not an attempt was made to
outrage her. The woods and fields imme-
diately west OF the city have been searched
in vain for the fiend, who is described by
the girl as being a tramp, very poorly
dressed and wearing black mustsche. It
is believed he left on the noon freight west.
